On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear pale yellow with a bubbly white head they dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma is full of slightly tart and earthy tropical fruits with a touch of dryness and barnyard. Flavor has more earthy tropical fruits with a bit of grain and Brett with a slightly dry and tart finish.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a hazy pale yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a great combination light tart peach and a nice dry white wine note as well as a touch of acid. Flavor has more sweet peach with just a touch of tartness and a great dry white wine finish.

Draft - Toffee and a little grain. Clear amber with a thin beige head. Weedy hop bitterness that stars and finishes. Bitterness overwhelms and makes a good APA but not a great amber except the colour.

Draft - Sweet cherry with a slight sour grape and malt. Cloudy brown orange with a thin brown head. Sour grape, plum and a bit of cherry. Nice but a bit ’fresh’, would be great with a bit of barrel age. Bottle - More flavor and edge. Better.
